Abstract：APP dictionaries on smartphones have provided much more possible solutions for media-converged dictionaries than the other digital counterparts. With the analytics tool Data. ai, the present study explores the media convergence features of 2360 APP dictionaries sampled from Apple store. It has been found that APP dictionaries have been converged with multiple languages, dictionaries, modalities, and query modes. They have been connected to other application tools, and the roles of all the communicative participants in APP dictionaries have become interchangeable as well. However, no matter how dramatically the APP dictionaries progress towards media-converged ones, they would and should not forsake dictionary quality, norms, services and identity for the sake of technology, innovation, information and function.
